My Uncle Mick Monahan “the major” who lived on Woodville Road , Kilchreest, not far from Yeats Thoor Ballylee, I was over from the states visiting in the summer of 1965, I was 17 at the time, my Uncle Mick says to me we will go for a bike ride to the dedication of the Yeats Thoor Ballylee, when we arrived at the site there were all kinds of camera people and a huge crowd for the renovated Yeats Thoor, anyways I always enjoy visiting the area of Yeats Thoor Ballylee.

Welcome to Thoor Ballylee.
This fourteenth-century Hiberno-Norman tower was described by Seamus Heaney as the most important building in Ireland, due to its close association with his fellow Nobel Laureate for literature, W.B.Yeats. The Yeats Thoor Ballylee Society are actively seeking funds to ensure the tower and associated cottage are permanently restored and reopened to visitors as a cultural and educational centre.
